Sean 'Diddy' Combs was reportedly rushed to hospital in the
middle of the night from his prison cell, according to insiders.
The 55-year-old rapper was said to have been transported
from Metropolitan Detention Center to Brooklyn Hospital to undergo an MRI scan,
at about 10pm on Thursday.
Diddy, who is awaiting trial for numerous sex crimes, was
reportedly rushed to the hospital after complaining of severe pain.
A source told New York Post that the medical scan was
authorised because the music mogul's “knee was bothering him". It
reportedly follows an old injury he suffered with after running the New York
marathon.
Combs did not stay overnight and was taken back to his cell
after the MRI concluded, the source said. They added that the hospital visit
occured in the evening hours in order to avoid whispers and further speculation
from other inmates or prison staffers.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told the press: “For
privacy, safety, and security reasons we do not comment on the conditions of
confinement for anyone in our custody to include medical status or medical
trips.”
Diddy has been locked up in jail since he was arrested last
year on sex trafficking, racketeering and prostitution charges. He's been
denied bail multiple times.
The musician, who is set to go to trial on May 5, has
vehemently denied all of the allegations since they first came to light.
As well as the criminal charges he is facing, Combs has been
sued by several people who have brought civil actions claiming he subjected
them to physical or sexual abuse, including his former girlfriend, R&B
singer Cassie.
